Perspective for Traffic and Transportation Planning for Calcutta

The population pressure on most of our major cities compels us and provides really an unique opportunity to bring about a new urban environment using the enormous growth of the next 25 years to completely reconstruct the urban pattern which accidents of history have created for us to live in today. Survival of our cities depends largely upon how they would be able to serve the needs functionally. Cities are bound to grow, for growth is the law of life and the best cities tend to over-grow through the energy of their populations and the satisfactions people get from their environment.
